Default no problem... i know how you feel, the list MUST grow! (read on)

My suggestion, is hold off on the air intake, save the 500 dollars. Put that money to more useful mods and then when a new intake would be more beneficial, then you look into it... but still don't spend 500 dollars without a lot of research on it.... good luck goofball

Default The people who have your car...?

Are you having work done on your car, and they're telling you they can put in this thing and get you 20HP? If so, I'd try to leave skid marks on the way out.
That's probably the most outrageous HP claim for an air intake I've ever heard - not to mention it being the most expensive. Let me guess, that includes installation? It's be interesting to find out what it would cost if you bought it from the distributor.
If you have a 1.8T, spend the $500 on a chip. If it's a 2.8, just ask here and I'm sure some 2.8 owners could suggest better ways to spend $500.

Awesome business strategy. Sell a $260 Lltek intake for $500.

Default There is no stand alone air intake system that will give you 20 hp. And $500 is a rip-off...

PES makes one for $269 that give you around 5 hp.
